Many people are interested in our online taster sessions and places are limited. It would be great if you could let us know if you are unable to attend. That is only fair and allows us to reallocate the place to others. Just send us a short e-mail with your cancellation to: lustaufluftfahrt@dfs.de. Thank you!

The air traffic controller training programme starts several times a year. This means you can apply to us at any time. Ideally, you should apply 1 year before you want to start with the training. In most cases, if you are available earlier, you can start earlier.
